Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution establishes the House floor procedure for considering H.R. 9899, which would designate Afghanistan under immigration law to make Afghan nationals eligible for temporary protected status, a immigration benefit that allows foreign nationals from designated countries experiencing armed conflict or environmental disasters to live and work legally in the United States. The resolution waives procedural objections and allows the bill to proceed quickly, with debate limited to one hour split between the House Judiciary Committee's leadership from both parties. Once passed by the House, the bill must be transmitted to the Senate within three calendar days. This is a procedural resolution that does not itself change any laws but enables the full House to vote on the underlying Afghanistan immigration bill without standard delays or obstacles.
